Month: October 2012

I got a call a few moments after I surfaced this morning asking me if I wanted to come in early for dialysis. An offer I took. I arrived for 11 am and left at 415 pm which was an hour and a half earlier than the usual deal.

Part way through the afternoon around the usual time we get tea, coffee, juice or water and a couple of digestive cookies, the three nurses came around the corner with a cart and on it a small coffee cake and five candles singing happy birthday.

yesterday was my 59th birthday, I thanked them for their kindness and the other patients got some cake.

this evening took out the window AIR CONDITIONER unit in my bedroom since the overnight temp is to fall to -2C this night – it winters on a chair below the window of my bedroom, staring resentfully at me for not moving to Florida full time at some more opportune time during my little expedition through the universe

saw a skunk, a large beautiful one, crossing our road last night — I stopped to let him scamper across to the ditch and disappear into the brush. excellent thick white striped coat.

saw a couple of moments of hail in yesterday’s cold rain

bought a reflective and high visibility safety vest to share with my sister when we are out walking, Grace, the golden retriever, during the dark dim October and November, seems like the worst time for being visible in the whole year. I was nearly run over in broad daylight during the summer. Glad I finally got around to buying this safety device.

Monday and Tuesday some cardiac testing to help determine if I am viable for kidney transplant….necessitated some dialysis schedule switching…. no D today, but D on the ealry morning shift tomorrow….should be interesting getting up that early for Dialysis.

local camera club someone gave a presentation about photographic composition and how to take better photos the other night
they began by comically bragging about how they had stolen the content from some photographic authority whose name was not familiar to me

I hate people who steal intellectual property and joke in their effort to get you to sit still for it
